In the obi-wan kenobi show, Reva tells Obi-Wan Kenobi that Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader is alive. This was to Kenobi's surprise! This is 10 years after Star Wars Revenge of the Sith when Anakin Skywalker lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar during Order 66.
In the original version before disney bought Star Wars from George Lucas, there was a really great novel, Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader, where Obi-Wan Kenobi learns that Vader is alive from a holo Net recording in a cantina. Right after this, Qui-Gon Jinn reaches out to talk to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
You can find that video coming up right after this one - • What Qui-Gon Jinn Thou...

We have to understand that Vader really wasn’t known. Correct me if I’m wrong but in Rebels, Kanan and Ezra had never heard of Vader before their encounter with him. Ahsoka also did not know about Vader. I agree that having Reva reveal to Obi Wan about Vader was pretty lame but it isn’t implausible that Obi Wan never heard about Vader for 10 years since Ezra and Kanan had never heard of Vader for 18 years.

this would be a good point IF Rebels wasn't a Disney creation. meaning that Disney has altered and dismissed Canon whenever previously established Canon/Facts got in the way of their story. until Disney, EVERYONE knew who Vader was or had atleast heard the name. Vader VERY publicly led multiple campaigns across the galaxy spreading fear to all who heard. Ezra and Kanan not knowing could be waved away as them not paying attention to the broader parts of the galaxy, correct me if i'm wrong but didn't Kanan and co also not know about the Inquisitors? as for Ahsoka i'm not sure but i think you might be wrong on that count. especially when Ahsoka seemed to pick up on Vader being someone she knew when she felt his presence

The thing is Vader isn't the second in command in the Empire or anything like that. He was more of a shadowy enforcer than a public or military figure. Many imperials in the early days of the empire didn't know who he has and many didn't respect him as seen in A new hope. I think its better that the public don't know about him or if they do, don't know much. It makes him more mysterious and scary imo.

In the book by John Jackson Miller “Kenobi”, same timeline as the series, I had thought initially that the series would take some info from it(it didn’t, not complaining). Even in the book, there is no mention of Obi-Wan knowing that Anakin/Vader is alive. He keeps feeling guilty in his meditations while trying to connect with Qui-Gon Jin about killing Anakin.

@@elisaryse you are correct - it states at the beginning of the book in the 'Novels Timeline' 19 years before 'A New Hope'....right after ROTS. Obi-Wan has to make trips into Mos Espy and Mos Eisley for supplies. On one excursion in Mos Eisley with the settlers he's befriended they accidentally bump into Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru carrying the young baby Luke! (Pg 272) Obi freaks out and uses the force to shift their landspeeder into high-speed to get out of there quick!! So yes, he would have found out about Vader at some point in this way.

Remember Vader wasn't as known to The Galaxy as he was seen as Palpatine's Enforcer by those who knew him. The Empire hadn't yet expanded to the point where people knew that there was no Galactic Senate anymore. Didn't Obi Wan Kenobi find out about Anakin Skywalker being alive as Darth Vader on a hologram of Vader in Mos Eisley? I still have that Legends Lore comic. I think Qui Gon Jinn's Force Ghost will guide Obi Wan in how to defeat Vader for their last duel before their actual final duel in A New Hope. I really enjoyed Episode 5 because Anakin's turn to The Dark Side is evident in how Obi Wan's always putting younger Anakin Skywalker down no wonder he said to Padme that he's an overly critical and jealous Jedi Master because Qui Gon Jinn wouldn't have done that because he understood Anakin's emotional insecurities and instability growing up as a slave insecure in his place in Life in The Galaxy. I really wish Disney would have done something about de aging Anakin Skywalker to be young because Disney should've been able to easily do this to make it believable with Hayden Christensen's younger Anakin Skywalker but I'm not complaining 😎. Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor BACK as Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi in The Clone Wars Era like it's during or after Attack of The Clones. I'm glad Disney Star Wars content is becoming quality content after The TRASH writing that The Sequel Trilogy was filled with. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.

Honestly, I have to agree with you that the way in which he found out is more natural and flows better, but in this show the writers actually went out of their ways to ensure the audience knew just how reclusive Kenobi lives in the show. Home, commute, work, commute, small super market and back home. They replayed that routine several times to indicate that he is completely a hermit. He hasn't seen the news in a long time in this version of the story.

@@raganmaxwell4253 But Kenobi in Ep 4 is also aware of things on Tatooine (and I'm not trying to attack you, I just disagree with the writers' choice. And you're probably right, in that I could've been more clear). Kenobi knows WHERE to find a pilot (and not just the city, he knows the EXACT cantina to go to), he knows what it'll be like there ("You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy"), and he's not AT ALL uncomfortable there like Luke is (knows he can cut off a man's arm WITH A LIGHTSABER and leave it there and no one will care). All these things suggest familiarity, that Kenobi SHOULDN'T just be going from work to home and back, that he's spent time on the planet even if he MOSTLY keeps to himself (one can be in public and still keep to oneself). One would also imagine that if Kenobi is going to protect Luke, he needs to know what's going on on the planet and to a certain extent what's going on in the galaxy. That's my issue with the writers' choice.

@@theroyalmediator2658 all that adds up perfectly, but this is still taking place early in Kenobi's time spent on the task of protecting Luke. It makes sense that some time would pass while he remains a completely broken man and gives the show some time to flesh out a story the specifically explains Kenobi coming into his own again and restoring his faith in himself and the galaxy's future. They aim to make another season, so it only makes sense that they would begin the story from developmental beginnings in his time on Tatooine. There's a lot of it that is certainly off-putting, but for the most part, I feel like they've done a good job of towing the fine line that is what's possible canon in the 19 year gap between films.

@@raganmaxwell4253 To be honest, I could probably agree with you more if this wasn't 10 YEARS after ROTS. If you want to say this is during the first year some of these things happen or two years in it would make more sense (which is what I would view as "early" into his time protecting Luke), but TEN YEARS is a little much for me. There's only 19 years between ROTS and ANH and this story wants us to believe Obi-Wan's been moping for MORE than half that time, and I just don't buy that based on what we saw directly before and directly after this period and what we've seen of Kenobi in general.

I said that exact thing in the beginning, when I saw the very 1st episode of Kenobi. It's nearly impossible for a person to go 10 years and not know who the shot-callers are. Vader is the most powerful person in the galaxy under Emperor Palpatine. How can Obi-Wan go 10 WHOLE YEARS without hearing the name Darth Vader??? And it's not like Tatooine is a secluded planet. 9-year old Anakin was telling Qui-Gon a lot about the galaxy outside of Tatooine, so was 19-year old Luke describing newsworthy events beyond the planet without ever leaving; both of them were able to speak because of all the pilots passing through from all over the galaxy. How believable is it that the kids know more about the galaxy than a 50-year old man? That's very unlikely. And willful ignorance of that kind of info kinda defeats the purpose of his assignment of overseeing Luke's success in growing up to become the Jedi Order's new hope. Ben had just one job!

Obi-Wan wasn't going around convening with people on a regular basis. His day to day activities that we saw in ep1 was literally how he had been living his life for the past 10 yrs. Vader's presence in the galaxy wasn't even fully well known at that point for people who were actually involved in politics/the current happenings of the galaxy, how do you expect a hermit who's cut himself off from the force, who doesn't go out of his way to make company, who lives on a backwater planet, to know something that even many Imperials in the loop don't know themselves?

Both work, but the show has Vader delegating a lot of dirty jobs to Inquisitors (just like in Rebels) and Obi Wan doing his best to shut himself out not only from the Force, but also from world issues. He has an isolated dead end job and a daily routine job-home-spying Luke to also avoid being recognized, since he was notorious as a Jedi master and war hero. The show uses Reva more like an example of how Inquisitors came to be and their motivations. She is so far, more of a tool and a plot device than anything else. If the show would have been like in the books, I could not see the utility of the Inquisitors.

I agree with everything you said. The only problem I have is how Reva telling obi wan that anakin is alive just gave them an automatic connection. As if their connection had been severed and simply gaining the knowledge that anakin had lived was enough to reconnect it? I mean maybe?! Idk. Maybe learning that information was too much for obi wan to suppress the emotions any longer and his grief was so immense that it was enough to ignite a spark between them again. If that’s the case, then I totally get it. But it is still a bit underwhelming that Reva is the one to tell obi wan. I feel like if yoda knew anakin was the one who betrayed the Jedi (without even looking at the recordings of the temple) then he could have also known that anakin survived Mustafar. That also is a missed opportunity for a training session from yoda in force communication. I still like the show either way

@@S0L12D3 The news definitely gave Obi Wan a trigger and we are used with the Jedi as stoic beings, but when it came to traumas, the human response can be erratic and atypical. It is curious how this affects the link between the Force and its user. Actually, we had hints with Grogu in Mandalorian. There are a number of moments in the show when each character reacts very different than normal, such as Vader freezing when he is interrupted while torturing Obi Wan, Obi Wan facing Vader while having a PTSD episode and Reva exploding at Vader in ep. 5 after the talk with Obi Wan and knowing she cannot beat him.

See, I agree that the comic scene is more organic but I don't think Obi-Wan would have acted that way. I think he would have heard and started to freak out a little but quickly leave the cantina while maybe stumbling and bump into someone but not a total freak out. To me, that isn't Obi-Wan. What we got in the show wasn't bad either, it made sense to a degree. Obi-Wan would have been out of touch with the galaxy just like he was with the force. Hearing that vader was a live for the first time after ten years might have been a bit of a stretch but not completely. He would have secluded himself as much as possible to not draw attention to himself or Luke so to me it makes sense. Showing the routine and stuff was cool but they could have gone just a little more into it to make it make a little more sense.

I dont like the idea of him finding out in some random cantina. I agree that 10 years seems like a bit too much, and it feels like the only reason for the big time jump is to be able to have the reva and the younglings be old enough to be in the story.

I totally agree with this and frustrated at the writing relative Obi-wan and him not knowing about Vader being alive for 10+ years is insane. However , I would also add a question that I havnt heard discussed much.... "HOW does Reva know Vader is Anikin?" She looks like she is 10-12ish in the clip when Order 66 happens. They make it apparent that she knew Anikin before Order 66, though dont show it. So its kinda assumed. However, to her Anikin is 'Jedi Anikin' and during Order 66... she is confused and scared and barely survives and believes he was going to help the younglings and herself - But didnt! That is "Jedi Anikin' attacked her. NOT the Anikin/Vader at the end of Epi III. Further, at this point she knows nothing of him turning to the dark-side or his new name - Vader and of course his physical changes into Vader. She should also a scared little girl and in fear for her life. Not knowing where to turn. Likely, hiding in the underbelly of Coruscant would make the most sense in fear for her life/scraping to survive. Think Ashoka on the run before her trial in the Clone wars. Granted we are told she was picked up in the gutter - so that is kinda c/w with being un the underbelly of Coruscant. However, none of that explains how she knows of the Vader-Anikin link. That WOULD be a State secret only few ppls would know - Not her. She is such a poorly written character. Ugg

No fault on the actress, she did great, but a character like Reva needs a longer show where we can take the time to explore a character this complex and not just race through her development.

This is so much better of an explanation of how Obi-Wan found out about Vader! I agree - the way the Obi-Wan show wrote that was a bit less effective in the way that they tried to get a two for one - add legitimacy to Reva while getting an emotional response from Obi-Wan. In the process, the Obi-Wan writers made us think that Reva is this emotionless power-hungry bad gal who wants to torture Obi-Wan as much as capture or take him down. But since the 5th episode is out, we know that this perception of Reva is not consistent with what she became: a backstabber to Vader after Obi-Wan saw through her confusion and used it to offer Reva some wisdom of his own. I believe that Obi-Wan's true intention with Reva in Episode 5 was to get her to turn back to the Light irrevocably, to see the error of her ways and to make clear what she may have understood as if through a mirror darkly, but now brought fully into the Light. But Reva, in her own haste and confusion, did not understand and succumbed to a whirlwind of confusion, still having the Light veiled to her to the point where she tried to take Vader down on her own (this was the critical climax of her life long confusion that Obi-Wan was able to pinpoint but not lead her out of successfully), and she made a wrong choice, but a choice that she was at peace with (death), which was preferable to a life of tormenting confusion between what really happened at the Jedi Temple during Order 66 and how she must come to terms with and accept the truth, which she has been avoiding ever since, and the veil of the dark side remained over her. But the Reva character aside, I would have greatly enjoyed this better explanation in the book that focused more on Obi-Wan's reaction (one character), than having Obi-Wan's reaction play into the growth or perception of another character (Reva).

I think it made sense in Kenobi for him not to have heard of Vader for 10 years. Empire clearly didn’t have too big of a presence at the time, and Kenobi had been closed off and secluded for the whole time.

Have to remember, they were only there in Ep IV because the chase for the DS plans lead them there

I have some issues with how they did it in the Kenobi show, such as the timing as you mentioned, but I always found the idea of him discovering it from a cantina holovid kinda underwhelming. I like the idea of an inquisitor or someone similar taunting him with the information, but Reva just didn't do the moment justice. It would have felt much more authentic coming from the Grand Inquisitor. Or even better yet, what about someone like Thrawn or Tarkin?

I'm 50/50. In one hand, I don't feel like just an announcement in a regular old cantina would be a interesting way for him to find out. I mean, it is organic, but it's kind of underwhelming. At least with Reva it was someone more important telling him that he's alive, but maybe if it was the Grand Inquisitor, people would have liked it better, but I digress. I do think it should have been done in a more dramatic situation, but I do agree that, especially after 10 years, he would have probably heard it earlier you know?

I don't think it's crazy that a dude who lives in isolation doesn't know Vader is alive, considering even the inquisitors said Tatooine was a backwater not worth searching. It is unlikely Tatooine would have experience with Vader, if at all. The show explanation makes sense to me.

I think you made some good points. I am working on several Star Wars novels myself and I have spent a lot of time actually reading many of the old & new novels, watching the cartoons, researching the video game characters as well as the some of the comic book stuff, and I think you may be correct that they may have been a little lazy and just wanted to establish the reason for Reva's behavior. I also suspect that they picked ten years to make Leia a better age for this adventure. They needed a big reason for Obi-wan to abandon his post. Leia seems like the most reasonable reason. It is hard to navigate through all the complexities of the Star Wars Universe....and much to my dismay many of the new novels and obviously the Sequel writers didn't even bother. It's really frustrating when I have gone through so much effort and these people have not. Why? They have teams of people that can assist in the research. I am doing this by myself. I also look at the situation that the people who love Star Wars within Lucasfilm are dealing with. A certain person in charge obviously does not really like Star Wars and has an agenda against George Lucas. This is just my observation from the outside. My literary agent died before he could figure out what on earth is going on in the halls of Lucasfilm. I have new allies but I am not holding my breath. I really appreciate your thoughtful intelligent observations about what is going on. I do think some things could have been better, but.....I suspect the people trying to put out good thoughtful content are constantly under siege. A stressful situation. It's hard to be creative when someone is constantly poking you with a stick.
